Abstract

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing customer 360° user interface platform for displaying aggregated information associated with each of a plurality of customers. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive, from a first data source, a first set of information associated with a customer of a service provider that includes data associated with service provided to the customer; might receive, from a second data source different from the first data source, a second set of information associated with the customer; might analyze the first and second sets of information to optimize organization of data associated with the customer. Based on the analysis, the computing system might generate a user interface for displaying the customer-associated data to a service provider representative to provide the representative with a robust and holistic view of the customer and the customer's service requirements for enabling provisioning of enhanced service to the customer.
